Package: libpetsc3.6.2-dev,libpetsc-complex-3.6.2-dev

Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

The package must ship all directories where alternatives may be installed.
BTW: Your naming scheme is inconsistent w.r.t inserting a '-' (minus)
before the "3.6.2".
